Obama Can't Fail Jews in New York

FrontPage: President Obama addresses the UN.

President Obama descended into New York this week to address the United Nations and avoid a political catastrophe.

Palestine, a pseudo-state without proper government or real estate of its own, is asking for recognition as an official State by the UN. This would result in a complete meltdown of Middle East peace.  Derailment of the Palestinian bid is critical for the futures of both Israel and the Obama White House.

Obama is already buried under a mountain of bad press for a lack of support for our only ally in the Middle East.  Presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Perry both sharply criticized Obama for leadership failures on the foreign policy front.  Romney alleged, "...repeated efforts over three years to throw Israel under the bus and undermine its negotiating position."  Perry said, "The Obama policy of moral equivalency which gives equal standing to the grievances of Israelis and Palestinians, including the orchestrators of terrorism, is a very dangerous insult."  The governors perfectly captured the gravity of the situation at the United Nations.

President Obama must move Heaven and Earth to stop the UN from recognizing the anti-Zionist Palestinian pseudo-state as a legitimate nation - if not to save the Jewish state, then at least to save himself. Failure in this task may cost his re-election chances next year and cement the perception that Democrat presidents are no friend to Israel.

Just last week, NY area Jews sent Obama a message of disapproval by electing a Republican to Congress for the first time since 1922.  Jewish voters, which heavily supported the President in 2008, will play a pivotal role in Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey in 2012. If they stay home or cast protest votes, Obama is toast.

Israel's future hangs in the balance while an electoral alignment of historic proportions is under way. Generations of Jews are waiting on one last straw to bolt the Democratic Party for good. Will Obama let that be his legacy?
